Chapter 3: Dress ups, Play dates,and Mishaps!
"Armin?" Annie said kneeling next to the doll. She carefully picked him up and flipped him over on his was unresponsive and his eyes were closed. Angela walked in after her surprised by her daughter's discovery. "This is the doll you were talking about just now?" She asked looking at Armin."she's so huge" she said.
"Armin's a boy " Annie replied still holding the boy 'what's the matter?' She thought. 'He was working just fine a second ago' Angela brushed a hand through Armin's hair, feeling his soft honey strands. "He's so beautiful, can I see?" Angela asked Annie. " Um sure" she said, handing Armin to Angela. It was then she noticed what was wrong. His wind up key had stopped.
Angela smiled as she sat crosslegged on the ground next to Annie and held Armin in her lap. "He has such excellent craftsmanship and he's so well made!" She said examining the doll. "He looks like an antique doll" Angela then gave him back to Annie. "Do you mind showing me how he works?" She asked. Annie nodded and wound his key up like she did earlier. 'Hopefully this will turn him on again,' she thought.
The faint sounds of gears ticking could be heard for a moment before Armin sat up straight and slowly opened his eyes again. He blinked a couple of times before his gaze shifted to Angela. He was about to hug her thinking she was Annie until he had noticed that this was a Lady and not a little girl. 'This must be Annie's mommy' he thought.'She's so pretty!'
"Hi My name is Armin, it's very nice to meet you" he said sweetly. Angela giggled pinching Armin's nose. "Well it's very nice to meet you too Armin" she said playing along. "Is this the only outfit he has?" Angela asked taking note of the dusty sailor suit Armin wore."I think so" Annie replied. "Okay, I'll tell you what" Angela said. "I'm going to go downtown for a bit to pick up a few things" she said grabbing her purse and her keys." I'll be right back okay?"
"Okay" Annie replied. Armin sat on the bean bag watching Annie's mother walk out of the room. Waiting until she was out of earshot he turned his attention back on Annie. "I like your mommy, she seems sweet" Armin exclaimed. Annie nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she's nice"
Thirty minutes later Angela had returned. Grabbing the three shopping bags in the passenger seat next to her, she had stepped out of the car. "Annie I'm back!"She called out. Annie was sitting in the living room with Armin watching " Charlie & The Chocolate factory"." I'm in here mom!" Annie called back. Angela emerged from the back door and walked over to where the blonde pair was at.
"Oh good you already have him out here" she said. Picking a confused Armin up she held him and carried him to the bathroom. "What are you doing with Armin?" Annie asked following her. Armin remained silent but subtly cocked an eyebrow as Angela sat him down on the toilet seat with the lid down. He also was rather curious to know what Annie's mother was up to. If she had wanted to know if he had to go potty, he didn't have to go now.
"I'm just going to freshen Armin up a bit" Angela replied filling the bathtub up with water. She made sure it was warm enough before walking back over to Armin. She peeled his stockings first, then he lifted his arms up and took off his seconds he was clad in nothing but puffy frilly looking white bloomers that stopped at high thigh. She was about to peel those off of him too until she remembered Annie was still standing in the doorway.
"Umm Annie dear how about you go finish watching T.V while I clean him up?" Angela suggested. Even this was just a doll she wasn't quite ready for Annie to see naked men yet. "Okay" said Annie. And with that she went back into the living . Angela was sure she was gone she took off Armin's underwear and sat him down in the tub.
On the outside Armin stayed still, but on the inside he was gushing madly over how nice this bath felt. Angela quickly got to work, grabbing a fresh washcloth and some soap began to lather the rag up. Armin nearly purred when as soon as he felt the fabric scrub soap on him. Within minutes Angela had the baby blonde's skin practically glowing!
She had then grabbed a bottle of strawberry scented shampoo and squirted some on Armin's head rubbing it into his hair. Armin quietly sighed in content as Angela continued to pamper him. 'A doll could definitely get used to this' he thought. When she was finished with that she had rinsed him off, dried him off and wrapped him up in a fluffy white towel.
Angela then propped Armin up on the toilet seat again and walked out of the room for a second before returning with a shopping bag. He watched with interest as she pulled out a white super frilly long sleeved blouse, a black corset, some puffy black short shorts with a white bow in the middle, and lacy white stockings with black bows adorned at the top. Basic lolita type clothing.
Taking the towel off of Armin, she began to dress him, and within minutes he was fully clothed again. "You look so cute" Angela smiled. She then pulled out one of those little clip on top hats you see some lolitas wear and put it in his hair on top of his head. Once she was done she stepped back to admire her handiwork.
Armin was loving his new outfit. He really hoped that Annie will like it! Once Angela was done giving Armin his makeover, she picked him up like a toddler and sat him back in the living room where Annie was. "Well what do you think?" Angela asked. Annie turned to where Armin sat and smiled in approval. "He looks good" she said taking in his new look. Armin's eyes lit up at that compliment. 'She likes it!' The doll thought.
It was also at that moment where they heard the doorbell ring. Angela walked over to it and looked out of the peephole seeing none other than Reiner and Bertholt. Opening the door, she let the two boys in. "Hello boys, come in" she greeted. "Hello Mrs. Leonhart" Reiner replied holding a football. Bertholt nodded quietly. Nobody noticed this but a jealous glare slowly started to work it's way up Armin's face as he watched Annie's friends walk through the door. 'Who are these guys? Surely they're not here for Annie are they?' He wondered.
"Hey Annie" Reiner said walking over to Annie bouncing his football up and down in his hands. He wore a white baseball cap over his bleach blonde hair and a blue and white baseball uniform. He must have came back from base ball practice." who's that girl sitting over there?" He said gesturing to Armin. Armin's eyes slowly narrowed at Reiner when he heard this. "Oh that's just my new doll, his name is Armin" Annie said."wait a minute that's a BOY?! Reiner asked in shock. "And why is it staring at us like that?" Bertholt asked nervously. "Like what?" Annie replied. Looking over her shoulder at Armin she saw that he was sitting still looking at them all innocently with big blue eyes.
When she turned back around however, the glaring had resumed. "Like That!" Bertholt said urging Annie to turn around. "Look!" Annie turned around once again and saw that Armin was still frozen in place sitting like a good little dolly. His mouth staying a sweet little smile. "He's not doing anything," Annie replied. "I think you two are just seeing things" she sighed. "Hey you guys want to go outside and play football?" She asked.
"Sure" The two friends said in unison. They didn't want to be around Annie's new toy any more than they had to. "Okay, let me go get my football helmet" she said going back to her bedroom. "I'll go with you!" Bertholt said following behind her. He was obviously frightened of Armin. As he waited for Bert and Annie to return ,Reiner just looked at Armin warily. who, by the way was full blast scowling at him now.
"Man you are creepy" Reiner said looking at Armin some more now. "Why Annie would even WANT this scary toy in her house I will never know" Armin could already tell that he didn't like Reiner. 'And why my Annie would want you for a friend I will never know' He thought back.'Annie is mine! I should be her best friend!' He soon got an idea as a evil little smile appeared on his face. 'Girls HATE hanging out with icky boys who are gross so maybe this will make Annie stop hanging out with this guy.
Armin smirked at Reiner as he let out a really loud, really long, really disgusting fart. "Ewww Reiner you're gross!" Annie sneered emerging from her bedroom. "I told him to stop eating those bean burritos" Bertholt said holding his nose. "Guys I swear it wasn't me it was that doll!" Reiner said pointing to Armin. "Dolls can't fart!" Annie shot back."and it sure does smells like yours, yuck!" She said putting her pink football helmet on.
Armin inwardly smiled triumphantly as he heard Annie stuck up for him. He watched as the three children grabbed the football and went outside with Reiner grumbling. Right before Reiner stepped out he could hear a soft voice behind him saying "Stay away from my owner if you know what's good for you" Reiner quickly turned his head towards the direction of the threat only to be greeted with the sight of Armin smiling sweetly at him.
